DC Water (District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Washington, reports hardness of moderately hard: typically 70-120 ppm (about 3-9 grains per gallon), generally higher in warmer months and lower in winter. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
